Crime Scene Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Hillside, Colorado Springs, CO
How do they clean up crime scenes in a home?
The crew starts by finding every spot fluids reached, including under flooring and behind trim. Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed. Hard surfaces are disinfected, and the air and odor are treated last.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.
What should I tell my insurance company?
State the facts plainly: what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and what paperwork it needs. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Can I clean a crime scene myself?
It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.
What rules do crime scene cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
How long does it take to clear a crime scene?
That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
